Georgia woman talks about charges stemming from banned weapons at airport

By
MORELAND - A Coweta County woman says she had no idea she was breaking the law when she carried weapons into a secure airport area in Traverse City, Michigan. <br> <br> Alice Annette Voils told WSB-TV Thursday that she was humiliated by the incident. Police say she tried to board a jet with three small knives, two box cutters, pepper spray and a half-pound rock. <br> <br> She says it was her first time flying and that she had no idea about increased security measures at the airport following the terrorist attacks on September eleventh. <br> <br> She spent two days in jail in Michigan before she was released on bond. <br> <br> Voils said, ``I&#39;m innocent. I&#39;m not no terrorist. I&#39;m not out here trying to kill nobody. I went through Atlanta ... I had no problem there.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The station reports that the woman went to Michigan to see a man she had met on the Internet. <br> <br> The Traverse City Record-Eagle reported that she passed through at least one checkpoint Tuesday at Cherry Capital Airport before screeners stopped her. She faces up to ten years in prison if convicted. <br> <br> Voils told airport officials she had carried the items through security checkpoints at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. <br> <br> Officials said the federal Transportation Security Administration will investigate that claim. The administration has been responsible for airline security since February 18.
